DCG PARTNERSHIP I, LTD

DCG provides Proficiency Testing Programs (PTPs) to assist customers with objectively quantifying their laboratory’s performance both internally and to other participating laboratories in the industry.  To meet the demand for improved analytical results, DCG has designed and implemented a rigorous Analytical Performance Testing Program to verify the analytical performance of client laboratory instruments and on-line analyzers. DCG ships gravimetrically and analytically verified “blind” samples to the customer on a quarterly or semiannually basis for analysis. The Certificate of Concentration of Analytes for all samples and all statistically prepared performance data are provided to the customer’s appointed designee to assure confidentiality. This program will enhance laboratory credibility and ensure optimum quality assurance. Testing programs can be customized to meet the customers quality, regulatory and analytical verification needs.

DCG Interlaboratory Study Programs are designed to allow customers to validate the quality of the measurements across their network of laboratories driving consistent results in all locations.  These programs play an important role in analytical chemistry to assure the quality of measurements. In these studies, DCG provides a group of laboratories aliquots from a homogeneous reference material for analysis.  The material is generally a certified reference material, analyzed by methods meeting ISO 17025 and blended by ISO 17034 guidelines and shipped blind to all participating laboratories.  After the laboratories analyze the samples, the results are submitted to DCG for consolidation and analysis. DCG will issue a final report to the customer and meet to discuss the results and create an action plan as needed.

Intralaborartory Studies are used to validate the quality measurements of laboratory analysts within a laboratory.

Customers supply DCG with liquid products for ampulization to minimize the variability and maximize the integrity of the items. Generally these materials are used in performance verification of analytical instruments and analytical test methods. This service provides the highest degree of confidence in the consistency and stability of the ampulized product.

Our DCG Technical Team provides customers with assistance when questions arise regarding reference materials selection and utilization, instrumentation issues, certification and accreditation assistance and method guidance. Our goal is the successful customer application of reference materials and improving quality systems leading to the enhancement of our partnerships.
